Tue., Jan. 11th…Imhotep Charter at Math, Civics & Sciences: Justin Edwards Justin Edwards 6'6" | PF Imhotep Charter | 2023 State #3 Nation PA , Rahmir Barno Rahmir Barno 5'10" | CG Imhotep Charter | 2023 State #223 Nation PA and their extremely talented teammates have run ‘Tep’s record to 9-2. Now they face arguably their toughest Philly Public League game. If MCS is to upset one of the top 6A teams in the state, they will need a historic game from combo guard Jaheim Bethea Jaheim Bethea 6'0" | PG Math, Civics & Sciences | 2022 State PA . Bethea is phenomenal at scoring and distributing off the dribble. When he passes, Bethea will hit fleet footed, 6’9” wing Khalif Crawley Khalif Crawley 6'7" | C Math, Civics & Sciences | 2022 State PA or FIU commit Darryon Prescott. The Elephants are also getting contributions from 3-level scoring prospect Aasim Burton Aasim Burton 6'3" | CG Cardinal O'Hara | 2024 State PA (2024).
Tue., Jan. 11th…Friends Central at George School: The FC program’s return to basketball glory got off to a rocky start this season., but now the influx of new talent appears to be gelling. Electric point man Fazl Oshodi Fazl Oshodi 6'3" | CG Friends Central | 2024 State PA (2024), smooth shooting lefty Colin Bowman Colin Bowman 6'2" | SF Friends Central | 2023 State PA (2023) and transition scorer Reid Belcher Reid Belcher 5'11" | PG Friends Central | 2024 State PA (2024) spearhead the Phoenix offense. The George School is led by the inside-outside tandem of interior force Onyekachi “Kachi” Nzeh (numerous DI offers) and scoring point guard Christian Bliss (five DI offers). Bliss has already recorded several 20+ point games this season.
Wed., Jan. 12th…Roman Catholic at Archbishop Wood: Originally this rematch of last season’s PCL championship game (won by Wood) was scheduled for January 2nd , but the game was postponed. No matter the date, this contest will feature too many college prospects to count. Elite shooting guard Daniel Skillings Daniel Skillings 6'5" | SG Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA (Cincinnati) and wing scorer Khalil Farmer Khalil Farmer PG Roman Catholic | 2022 State PA (Hofstra) lead Roman. Class of 2023 point guard Xzayvier Brown Xzayvier Brown 6'1" | PG Roman Catholic | 2023 State #233 Nation PA (15 ppg.) is a high DI backcourt prospect, but he is questionable for this contest because of an ankle injury. If Brown remains out, combo guard Toby Ojukwu (2024) one of the top underclassmen in the area will be at the helm for Roman. Wood’s roster features floor general Justin Moore Justin Moore 6'1" | CG Archbishop Wood | 2022 State PA (Drexel) and slasher style forward Carson Howard Carson Howard 6'7" | PF Archbishop Wood | 2023 State PA . Do not overlook Wood senior Mike Knouse as well as 6’3” junior Jalil Bethea Jalil Bethea 6'4" | SG Archbishop Wood | 2024 State #5 Nation PA . Both will play at the next level.
Thurs., Jan. 13th…Delaware County Christian at Dock Mennonite: Bicentennial Athletic League powers collide when scoring point guard Joshua Parks Joshua Parks 6'0" | CG Delaware County Christian School | 2022 State PA (2020-21 1st Team All-League selection) and his DCCS squad travel to face a Pioneers team that raced out to a 9-2 start. Dock Mennonite is receiving tremendous production from junior small forward Nathan Lapp (multiple 20+ games). Lapp has added 3-point range to his already impressive skill set. Additionally, Dock senior long distance sniper Tomir Johnson has been torching the nets of late.
Sat., Jan. 15th…Academy of the New Church at Penn Charter: ANC has one of the best backcourts in the region in Kenny Jackson Kenny Jackson 6'3" | PG #23 Nation PA (12 DI offers) and Deywilk Tavarez Deywilk Tavarez 6'2" | CG Academy of New Church | 2023 State PA (Offer from Hofstra.), but it has been senior Anthony McCall Anthony McCall 6'3" | CG Academy of New Church | 2022 State PA who is making headlines of late. The 6’4” scoring wing is averaging a near double-double – 19.6 ppg. and 9 rpg. Penn Charter (10-1) is one of the hottest teams in the area thanks to stellar play from dime dropping, junior point guard Mark Butler Mark Butler 5'10" | PG William Penn Charter | 2023 State PA . Elite scoring prospects Trey Shinholster Trey Shinholster 6'2" | SG William Penn Charter | 2023 State PA (2023) and his younger brother Kai Shinholster Kai Shinholster 6'5" | SG William Penn Charter | 2025 State #133 Nation PA (2025) have also made major contributions.
